Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am aware there are also other barging companies, like Cooper Barging, for example, or Bob's Welding. Those are two of the bigger outfits.

When we are a little busier than usual, like it seems we were this summer, do we make use of those other companies as well to service the smaller, closer communities, whether to Inuvik or near Fort Simpson? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. To your statement, I know you mentioned some high water in July, and I have seen it first-hand myself. I noticed a couple of buoys that were in places that they shouldn't be near Tsiigehtchic. How long did it take the department or the Coast Guard to realign those buoys along the Mackenzie River after they were moved out of place by the extremely high waters in the first part of July? Thank you.
